Geocache Description:

"There once was a girl from PA
Who decided to go outside and play
She chose Foothills Park
to leave her mark
and hope's it will make your day".
.

You can enter this park four ways and parking coords are listed for each: (1) IF you are a Palo Alto resident, you can enter through the main gate and park at N 37° 21.845 W 122° 11.490; (2) through Pearson-Arastradero Preserve (N37 23.224 W122 10.448); (3) coming down from the Los Trancos Open Space Preserve (OSP) main parking area (N37 19.563 W122 10.787); or (4) from the Los Trancos trailhead gate #LT01 (N37 19.997 W122 10.538). LT01 has room for a few vehicles only. For an easier hike you can do a vehicle shuttle, leaving one vehicle down at Arastradero, driving another up Page Mill Rd. and hiking down from either of the Los Trancos OSP entrances. It's about 2 miles to the Foothills Park border from either Arastradero or LT01. Starting from the main Los Trancos parking lot up on top will increase the distance to the Foothills Park border.

Foothills Park and Arastradero Preserve are both open 8 a.m. to sunset. Los Trancos OSP has different hours and is open a half an hour before sunrise until a half an hour after sunset. Please only cache during park hours. Non residents of Palo Alto are allowed to hike into Foothills through either Arastradero or Los Trancos but are not allowed to walk in from Page Mill Rd.
